KENNY DALGLISH was left to reflect on two points dropped after Liverpool FC were held to a 1-1 draw by Norwich City at Anfield.

Grant Holt’s second-half equaliser ensured Paul Lambert’s side left Merseyside with a share of the spoils as the Reds failed to build on Craig Bellamy’s first-half strike.

The draw is Liverpool’s third at Anfield in the Premier League this season, all of them with a 1-1 scoreline, and after taking the lead in the game. It leaves them four points adrift of fourth-placed Newcastle United.

Dalglish insisted afterwards that he was happy with his side’s performance, but admits they will need to be more clinical in front of goal in future.

“I think we’ve been brilliant in creating the chances,” Dalglish said. “It’s a huge pleasure for us that we’re creating that many chances. So we’ll look at the positives.

“The finishing side? Obviously we’ve got to add to it. But when you look at the facts and figures and reflect on what they’ve actually done and what they’ve actually created, you wouldn’t bet against scoring five or six on any given day, just not today.”

Liverpool could easily have left with all three points. Three times they hit the woodwork, while Norwich ’keeper John Ruddy produced a stunning save to deny Luis Suarez in the last minute of stoppage time, having seen substitute Andy Carroll head a golden chance wide just moments earlier.

“I just keep waiting for our luck to change,” said Dalglish. “As soon as our luck changes we’ll be all right. And that’s all it is.

“You can’t say that we played badly in any of the games. I don’t think anybody could say we played badly or that we didn’t deserve more than what we got from all of those games. I don’t think there’s a game yet where we’ve taken more from the game than we actually deserved?

“Obviously I’d prefer both (to create chances and finish them). But we’ll remain positive. Obviously yourselves you’ll look at the chances missed, we’ll look at the chances created, and there’s a team (Norwich) that’s gone to Manchester United three weeks ago and come away unlucky, with no points.

“Maybe they got the luck there today. It will certainly have been a more difficult game for them today than what it was at Old Trafford. We just want to finish off (our chances) and let the boys get their reward, they definitely deserve it.

“There’s a lot of disappointment because the boys have played really well. I don’t think the point is a reflection on how well they’ve played. As I said, if they continue to play like that they’ll win a lot more games than we lose.”

Dalglish was also quick to defend Luis Suarez after a difficult week for the Uruguayan.

“There are people questioning Luis Suarez’s integrity, but it’s their integrity that needs questioning – not his,” he said.

“On the football pitch he is exemplary, a fantastic footballer and we’ve got 100 per cent faith in Luis Suarez and the way he conducts himself.”
